Welcome to my blog! My name is Chris, or CK for short. I’m from Washington DC but currently call Sweden home.

Since finishing my degrees in chemistry, I am usually found in my natural laboratory habitat.

From time to time, I try to step away, switching fluorescent lights with golden hour in any country that will have me. 

As a self-taught photographer and drone flyer, I enjoy sharing my travel experiences on this blog hoping to help any others who are looking to find meaningful travel experiences.
